By mistake, the CD was mastered in mono instead of stereo.

“The Way You Make Me Feel” is a song by American recording artist Michael Jackson. Released by Epic Records in November 1987, it was the third single from Jacksons seventh studio album Bad. Written and composed by Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones (and co-produced by Jackson), the song is credited as being a pop and R&B song. The lyrics pertain to being in love with someone.

Background and composition¨¨
“The Way You Make Me Feel” was recorded by Michael Jackson in 1987 for his seventh studio album Bad, which was released the same year it was recorded. Epic Records released the song as the third single from the album in November that year. “The Way You Make Me Feel” was written and co-produced by Jackson, and produced by Quincy Jones. Before the recording of Bad, Jackson had written over sixty songs for the album, with plans of releasing a three disc album, but after Jones convinced Jackson to make Bad a one disc LP, “The Way You Make Me Feel”, as well as ten other songs were selected for the album.
Credited as a being a pop, funk and contemporary R&B song, “The Way You Make Me Feel” is composed of blues harmonies. The songs opening lyrics are “Hey, pretty baby with the high heels on”. “The Way You Make Me Feel”s lyrics pertain to being in love, as well as the feeling of loving someone. Throughout the song Jacksons vocal range spans from B3 to A5.

Music video

The music video for “The Way You Make Me Feel” was directed by Joe Pytka and produced by Michael Nesmith. It was choreographed by Vincent Paterson. The short version of the video is seven minutes and fifty-four seconds long and the full version is nine minutes and thirty-three seconds long. The video begins with a group of bums try to pick up women, but don’t get any luck. One of the males (Michael Jackson) is told to go home and don’t hang around with the other guys anymore. When the male walks home, an elderly man, who is sitting on the steps of his house, tells him to just be himself. The male notices a female, played by model/dancer Tatiana Thumbtzen, walking down the streets alone. Shortly after the male walks out of an alley and stands in front of the female while shes walking down the street, although she ignores him and keeps walking. He gets her attention by shouting, and then begins singing “The Way You Make Me Feel” to her while also dancing. Uninterested, she walks away. He follows her, having been cheered on by his friends to pursue her. Another dance routine begins, involving the males friends, which leads to the male pursing the female throughout the neighborhood. The video ends with the male eventually winning the female over, and embraces her, while a fire hydrant is spraying out water. The videoclip also features an appearance by his sister La Toya as one of Thumbtzens friends.
The music video was released on October 31, 1987, and received one nomination at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards Ceremony. The video, alongside Jacksons ‘”Bad” video, was nominated for Best Choreography, but lost to Jacksons younger sister Janets video “The Pleasure Principle”.
The music video was included on the video albums: Video Greatest Hits – HIStory (long version on DVD and short version on VHS), Number Ones (short version), Michael Jacksons Vision (long version) and the Target version DVD of Bad 25 (long version).
The introduction of the full version of the video also samples the Roy Ayers 1985 song “Hot” from his You Might Be Surprised album.
